Co-ops Rock!

National co-op month is upon us! We’re celebrating the seven cooperative principles and found these awesome graphics by CoopsRock.coop. They are “an intentionally brief and visual overview of the cooperative movement”. They’ve done graphics for each of the cooperative principles that echo band posters.

And in the spirit of cooperation, everything is uncopyrighted and free for sharing and use.

Social Justice and Co-ops Book Club

Want to know more about co-ops? Interested in how co-ops can be part of movements for justice and social change? Mariposa is joining food co-ops across the country in a collaborative study project about the intersection of cooperatives and social justice organizing and education.

This month we are reading the first half of For All The People: Uncovering the Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, by John Curl.

All are welcome! Please email education@mariposa.coop to get a free copy of the reading selection, for more information and to join the group.
